TIFF Font Hack Installer v0.1
greg | September 17, 2006
FreePlay has done something a little different with the TIFF exploit; no ported game, no ported emulator, but has granted the ability to customize your PSP’s font! That’s right — now unfortunate 2.80 users have the option of defining a custom font to use in the XMB interface. The current procedure is a little tedious; however, future versions should shorten/simplify the process.
From the Readme:
To install the program, copy it to \PSP\PHOTO on your Memory Stick.
To run the program, highlight the ‘fonthack’ folder from your PSP’s Photo menu, then press Start.
To modify your registry, use the parsedreg/fixupdreg package from http://freeplay.unaligned.org/parsedreg3a.zip .
- Extract the ZIP file to your computer. It doesn’t matter where; just remember where the folder is.
- Run the Font Hack Installer, and press Cross to copy your registry to your Memory Stick.
- Copy the system.dreg and system.ireg files from your Memory Stick to the parsedreg/fixupdreg folder.
- Open system.dreg (NOT system.ireg) in a hex editor. Replace every instance of “flash0:/font” with “ms0:/fontmod”. Save the file.
- Double-click fixupdreg3.exe . It should pop up a window that closes automatically. Your registry should now be fixed, assuming everything went well.
- Copy system.dreg and system.ireg back from the parsedreg/fixupdreg folder to where you found them on your Memory Stick.
- Run the Font Hack Installer again, and press Circle to install your modified registry.
You’ll need to have a custom font copied to the \fontmod folder on your Memory Stick to use custom fonts. To make your own custom fonts, use the FHacker utility. Download it from http://www.psp3d.com/FHacker093.zip

Dude! Wow, well done! Will try this later.
sweet
look out Sony
=]
wow this is amazing or something
gets better and better
I wait for the simple one, too complicated, Nice Job though, keep up the good work guys, Hackers rule!!!
Tahoma ftw
I hope all these homebrews for 2.8 means we’re getting closer to a downgrader for 2.8!
wow, i never thought something like this would be released so quickly
viva la homebrew 2.8!
Ich hoffe,dass wir eines Tages von 2.80 nach 1.50 Downgrade machen können!!!
i have no clue wut these directions mean is there a way sum can send me a link that has all the work al ready done
great now that they have homebrew for the 2.8, i hope a downgrader comes out soon, good work on the font hacker, but most homebrew on my 2.8 freezes so that is gay. but all of it works so thAT IS GOOD!
UMM THIS DOESNT WORK! the psp knows that its registry has just become corrupted so it restores all the fucking defaults
can someone send me a link that has everything already done because its all complicated. thnx
hot_shot_playa@hotmail.com

am waiting,all i want is a 2.80-1.5 downgrader.
thats cool!!!!!
watch out you people dont brick your psp.. good program but not for the noobs with 2.8’s. its best to change your font only with custom firmware w/ recovery mode..
TO #18…. this can in no way harm your psp. it does not write to flash. all it will do is restore your default settings OH NO…. lol
It took me 3 hours to get it to work on my 2.8 psp, and it works so perfect nwo that all I do is change the default font to what I want and crash the psp. it owkred fine now 20 times outa 20. had to test all the fonts lol
can some one make a youtube video on how to do it succesfully … im still haveing truble
or can some one make a very detailed step by step will exact font and every thing that is sure fire to work would be nice :)
yea it just makes me reset defaults wtf can someone help?
same here its starting to get to me
hopefully the next verion is easy-er to understand
its cool and all, but takes waaaaaay to long and to confusing…it measn PROGRESS THO! =D
Hey guys i guess since you’ve all been asking ill write a step by step guide, well first off do everything this guide says , when u get to the hex editing part download a hex editing program like this one http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm#download
Then u open system.dreg and look in that right section for the line that says flash0:/font ad change it to ms0:/fontmod and then save it, put it back in the psp’s root directory then use the fonthacker program to install w/e font u want then u run the font program on ur psp press O and wait till it says its installed and there u go
sorry before u return system.dreg and system.ireg to the psp root duble click the fixedupred.exe file to patch it
when i open it in hex editor there is nothing thats says flash0:/font
whats the fixedupred.exe
make something like this in the forums……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
to 28 right column go farther down if need a bit more right and ull find it, and to 29 it was a typo i meant fixupdreg3.exe
hey do you think it is possible to use this to change the gameboot video
How do I restore my font to default?
if u remove some of the font files and u run the font hack and when ur psp restarts it should say its corrupted u press O and it should restore everything..too bad u lose ur wallpaper -_-
What do you mean loose my wallpapers?
NVM
what is the fixupdreg3.exe
i got it to work it only took me 3 minutes lol -_-!!!
i heard it was coming out tommorow…… -_-
lol^to the above…i can only find one instance of flash0:/font and i changed it in a hex editor. saved. and uploaded the new registry after patching it. when it says seccessful i press home to exit and it restarts and restors defaults. what could be the problem. hook me up.
hmm u install the font the way i told u to using FHacker? cuz i remember the first couple of times it happened to me too
well at least those poor 2.8 basturds got something.. lol
i can only find 1 flash0
and can sumbody just post a friggin premade pne so it’z easyer?
GTA FONT IS AMAZING!!! ITS WORK!!! THIS THE BEST STEPS EVER!!! SO SPECIFICS!!!!
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36130
TIP:UNISNTALL WINRAR FOR MADE THIS PROCESS GET WORK!!!!
im not really sure how it all works so im not sure if its safe to upload a premade one but yah there only one instance of flash0 so just change that
Where exactly do I put the font? it says “you’ll need to put ur font in the fontmod thing on your memorystick….” but its not on the meory stick where does it go?
mine keeps giving me the blue screen of death why the f is this
For some reason, when I do it, I catch a glimpse of the new font before it comes with the blue screen. When I repair, it goes back to the default font.
heres my attempt at instructions:
for those who get the error message, did you install the custom font into (drivename):/fontmod ?
ok, get a hex editor, get the .tiff exploit, get a font(can be changed later XD) and maybe custom background and i think there was another tool you need, get that too XD (itll be on homepage)
install and start the .tiff exploit first thing, then press X and wait for the memory stick light to stop flashing, it takes just under a miute, but id imagine it varies, then quit. turn on your PSP and connect to USB, then in the folder on your computer, use the Hex editor to open the file: system.dreg and use the find next tool in the hex editor to find the appropriate series of letters (just type flash in find box) replace that with what it wants (im too lazy to look) save it and your’ ready. put the system .dreg and the system.ireg file in the other tools folder i didnt know the name of and run the program called: fixupdreg3.exe then get the system.ireg and system.dreg files and place them back in the root folder of PSP, copy and paste the .pgf font files into the fontmod folder, start your PSP, relaunch the .tiff exploit and press O (circle), let it do its job and then restart your PSP and it should work.
to test new font after new font, insteading of turning the PSP off then on, just start a demo .eboot or launch the UMD and press home to quit, then XMB should have the latest installed font. also, for some fun you can have different fonts on your different Memory sticks, however it will only change after launching and quitting a game or demo (or rebooting)
thats the best i can do (not really, but im sleepy and lazy)
peace.
to num 49 are u stupid the only reason im having trouble is the fact that i have the specific locations for the files so saying your to lazy u wasted your time typing that big long thing because it dont givme any og the info i need
ffs, this is getting annoying. I have enough trouble with Blue Screen o’ Death on my own PC. I DON’T NEED IT ON MY PSP!
Somone, fix this! PLEASE! i see it in the clock, and thats it! I HATE LIFE!

http://www.sendspace.com/file/o81qxn ok there is all the file su basically need except for the tiff, just add the 2 system files to the root of ur psp, then run FHacker to install a font thenrunt the tiff program on ur psp press circle and itll say its installed, i dunno how to make it more simpler, oh and i added as a treat the Halo , Kingdom Hearts, and a custom made Final Fantasy Font :-D
58, I still get the blue screen wiht yours. It must the the model. Mine is a PSP-1002K Australian model.
58, so does it matter wht fw i hav
cuz i hav 2.8
i like the way no one has made a tut on this………………………………
im really not like a psps guru or anything but im guessing it depends on firmware and/or model, mine is a 2.71 fw ta-082 motherboard and psp1001
Ok I am having problems with this I have tried and tried again to get this working. I have used at least a dozen different tutorials and packs that already include the custom files but whenever I load the fonthack and press circle I end up getting the BSOD (psp wise = screen that asks for you to press O because a file is corrupted) and the fonts won’t load. Every once in a while I also get it to where everything seems to go fine and when i do the fonthack thing and press circle the PSP will reboot no BSOD but no fonts either. I truely want different font for my psp but this is driving me crazy if anyone can come up with a possible explination for why this is happining and a solution to said problem please e-mail me at DeathRex369@gmail.com
or post it here. That would help all of us.
Ok This thing like screwed up my psp.. After i installed it and everything and after it rebooted.. passed the blue screen and everything.. but when u try turn the psp on it waits for 5 secs then turns itself off.. i cant get on the main psp screen… it keeps doing it.. , so is there a way to get rid of that?

FOR THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO WORK THEY MUST BE FOLOWED 100% AND IN ORDER ( DO NOT SKIP A STEP FOR ANY REASON OR THIS PROBABLY WONT WORK)
1. remove all files from your attempts to make it work and redownload the files (this process only worked on my psp after i removed the files a started fresh)
2. put the font hack files on your psp in the photo folder( unzip them ectera )
3. download the system files from the link on # 58
4.unzip it and put the system.dreg and system .ireg on your root menu ( the one that opens up when u conect it to computer)
5. on your computer go under the photo folder run Fhack.exe and load a font to your psp (make sure the directory selected to intal to is your psp then open the file. press add font a pick a name for it. then press intall to psp)
6. on your psp go to fonthack file (under photo) and press start, if it frezzes restart by holding the power button till screen goes dark and try again
7. once u have got it open press (o button) to load the system files to your psp
8.press home and when your psp restarts your font should be there
